Note di degustazione
Magnum. Lighter bodied than the Haut-Brions from the 1950s tasted immediately before, with notably more acidity but this wine has great freshness and charm. This wine became sweeter in the glass but had lovely freshness. In a way it would have knocked all socks off had it not been preceded by the Haut-Brions. (JR)

Dense blackish ruby with a yellow rim. Wonderfully savoury and composed on both nose and palate. Still quite enough fruit – though far from a modern monster. great balsam undertow with fruit still trumping acidity and tannins long forgotten. Such impressive length. Traditional claret incarnate. Fresh as a daisy. (JR)
(Magnum) This was a disappointing showing. Although it displayed a dark, plummy/chocolatey color and an earthy, spicy nose, the emaciated fruit and high acidity gave the impression of a hard, lean, sterile, ungenerous wine. Other tastings have revealed an outstanding wine from this great vintage.
